An Indian rubber cord $L$ metre long and area of cross-section $A$ $metr{e^2}$ is suspended vertically. Density of rubber is $D$ $kg/metr{e^3}$ and Young's modulus of rubber is $E$ $newton/metr{e^2}$. If the wire extends by $l$ metre under its own weight, then extension $l$ is

  • A

    ${L^2}Dg/E$

  • B

    ${L^2}Dg/2E$

  • C

    ${L^2}Dg/4E$

  • D

    $L$
